    Windows 11 apps not launching and can't access safe mode to uninstall/reinstall video...


    Recently windows 11 has been rebooting with a DWM failure message.I uninstalled the old AMD Ryzen video driver rebooted and then installed the latest ATI minimal driver from their website.The computer reboots "fine" now but nothing will run. I can't get into the control panel to uninstall. I can't Ctrl-Shift EscI can't open the Settings App.I can't Ctrl-R msconfigI can't Ctrl-R shutdown.exe /r /oShift reboot doesn't work. With 3 hard reboots to enter safe mode it just sits at a blank screen. Any ideas about getting into safe mode and uninstalling the video driver and trying again or repairi

    :)

    Uninstalled app can't be reinstalled.

    I was having trouble with an app. The developer suggested I uninstall the app, then reboot, the reinstall it. I uninstalled the app. I rebooted. I went to the store to reinstall it and the store says it is already installed and provides a "Launch" button.
    But the app is NOT installed. It doesn't show up in the list of apps. And clicking the "Launch" button does nothing.

    So now I am stuck with a paid for app that I can't get reinstalled.

    How do I get around this?

    Windows 11 Safe Mode PIN Failure

    I've a new Asus ProArt Studiobook and need to put the laptop into SafeMode to fix Windows Defender issue (thread here if of interest). I'm running the latest version of Windows 11 (23H2). I was attempting to boot into safe mode. At the login screen, I receive the following error "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again."

    Troubleshooting steps so far

    1. I've repeated this with the laptop LAN connected, WiFi connected, Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Network. still unable to login to my laptop via safe mode.
    2. I've also reinstalled Windows 11 using this guide, following the Reinstall Windows 11 using installation media Keep Everything steps... I didn't fancy reinstalling all my apps. still unable to login to my laptop via safe mode.
    Other than sending my laptop back under RMA or do a fresh rebuild, I'm out of options. Any ideas?

    explorer.exe will not run other than in safe mode


    MS suggests:
    Once your PC is in Safe Mode, reinstall your display adapter driver.


    • Type device manager into the search box on the taskbar, and then select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display adapter.
    • Right-click the display adapter and select Uninstall > OK.
    • Restart your PC.
